Feedback. As in the loud whining noise you hear when someone's on the radio and they go too near their radio with their telephone, or whatever.
So last week I was at my folk's house and it happened on a phone in on Radio Five Live. My Dad explained to me what did it, but even when he'd told me, I was none the wiser!
Anyone got any personal examples? And if anyone can explain what feedback is in laymen's terms...
Hi,
Have you ever gotten into a conversation with some one who for whatever reason your opinions differed enough to where it became a loud fight? That's "Positive Feedback." Each one excites the other more and the volume increases.
But if you respond with calming and non-argumentive responses it calms the situation. That's "Negative Feedback." You won't allow the volume of the argument to increase.
If you keep pumping on a swing and the swing arches higher each time, that's "Positive Feedback." Positive feedback so are additive so the volume, anger, swing, whatever, goes up. That squeal is you doing a 360 degree flip on the swing or a screaming fight that tears a vocal cord.
Does that help? If not please ask questions. It always helps to visualize the examples. Feel yourself pumping that swing and think about the amplified signal going back to the microphone that amplifies it again again sending it out to return again just like with each push you make and you swing higher until you go all the way around and you squeal. That's exactly what happens which is why they always ask you to turn your radio down or off. It always overloads with feedback. Let me know if I helped you, please.
I'm and old computer design engineer and I need to keep my mind working by helping explain technical things that have always come easy to me. I taught engineering for 10 of my career years the rest designing military weapons systems and telecommunications switching networks. I've been retired for 10 years and I'm recently widowed after 44 years. I gave 7 kids, 17 grand kids from 8 to 36 and 3 great grand kids the latest only 7 weeks old. He is absolutely gorgeous.

I think your original question has already been answered, but here's something I still can't understand: how a sewing machine works. As far as I can tell, it's impossible. Possibly black magic.
For example, if you look at this animation
The thread goes both behind and in front of the spool. So, is it just held aloft by sorcery or something? I mean, it can't be some kind of super-high-tech electromagnetic technology that holds it in midair, because sewing machines have been around for an awfully long time.
Similarly, what's moving that rotating hook that catches the thread? As far as I can tell, it can't be attached to anything or it won't work.
WTF???
The image is deceptive, you need a 3-D image to see it. If you take 2 lines and and secure one end then start tying a series of single over-hand knots it's exactly the same thing. The machine allows the tension on each thread to be set so the knot meets in the center of the fabric. I've put a few hundred thousand miles on sewing machines. My latest machine is a Pfaff, is programmable and embroiders.

It's easy really. A fluorescent light is light because ultra-violet radiation (the stuff that can burn your eyes in sunlight) is created by ionizing a drop of mercury in the tube which excites the phosphorous coating on the inside and it gives off light. If you phosphor a TV screen then only turn on selected spots with an electron gun, both enclosed in a vacuum tube, you get an image if the lit area spots are small enough. Each spot is a pixel in digital-image speak.
Phosphorous is an element that when excited by adding energy (ultra-violet, electron beams, radiation, whatever) it gives of that extra energy as photons and it glows. The phosphors can be chemically changed to glow different colors when excited by different frequency electron guns. When they figured that out we had the first RCA with a round screen that was fuzzy and sold for a couple thousand dollars. Since then technology's changed and it's a lot more accurate and easier to do without the vacuum tubes.
Cameras just work in the opposite direction and turn images into pieces (pixels) so small your eye sees a complete image when seen with a viewer.
Did that help? I'm an old engineer that likes to help.

To be brutally honest, I don't get that explanation. Maybe it makes sense but I haven't really understood any of the explanations on this yet - not really understood.
I think the problem is that everyone is looking for analogies, and I want to know like actually what is the explanation, technically. If that means it's not in layman's terms then I'll just have to work it out.

this is NOT an explanation....it's an example as to the feedback you are referring to. My son wears hearing aids and when he lays down they ring. at work we use walkie talkies. but if we are too close to each other, the same "squawk" squealing high pitched FEEDBACK....
something with microphones....soundwaves....frequencies

Okay, he's the official electrical engineers explanation. I designed computers for 30 years and feedback is a very big problem. It's always a problem when the output feeds back. Positive makes it sun away into squawks, squeals and a lot of hurt ears. Negative will kill the original signal if it's to high.
"Positive feedback is a process that occurs in a feedback loop in which the effects of a small disturbance on a system include an increase in the magnitude of the perturbation.[1] That is, A produces more of B which in turn produces more of A.[2] In contrast, a system in which the results of a change act to reduce or counteract it has negative feedback.[1][3] Both concepts play an important role in science and engineering, including biology, chemistry, and cybernetics.
Mathematically, positive feedback is defined as a positive loop gain around a closed loop of cause and effect.[1][3] That is, positive feedback is in phase with the input, in the sense that it adds to make the input larger.[4][5] Positive feedback tends to cause system instability. When the loop gain is positive and above 1, there will typically be exponential growth, increasing oscillations, chaotic behavior or other divergences from equilibrium.[3] System parameters will typically accelerate towards extreme values, which may damage or destroy the system, or may end with the system latched into a new stable state. Positive feedback may be controlled by signals in the system being filtered, damped, or limited, or it can be cancelled or reduced by adding negative feedback."
That's a quote from Wikipedia and as good as anything I'd write. Does that help?
Any system that can be effected by its output, electrical, biological, mechanical, anything, will be distorted by positive feedback if it's to loud. Do you understand frequency and amplification? If not we need to start a little farther back.
Ask away and I'll try to make it a little more understandable.

Curling. Seriously, I have no idea what the hell it's about. I know every single rule and regulation in both American football and ice hockey, (yes, the "tuck rule" was pure bullshit) but despite several Canadian friends attempting to explain the great sport of Curling to me, I'm lost.
Best way is to watch a game -- there's quite a bit of curling on TV now -- with a friend who knows the rules. They can explain things as the game goes along.
Otherwise it's like trying to explain cricket to someone just with words. A hopeless task!

My wife and i just joined a curling league. it starts in October. It's going to be awesome. i am a huge fan - once you understand it, it's a complex and exciting sport.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
